                      "hidden"       visible

Just the name becomes visible for people.
There are meta names which are useful, let's be careful before  
throwing the baby with the water of the bath.

<meta name="Description" content="blablablabla"/>
<meta name="Keywords"    content="foo, bar, boo"/>

are both used by Spotlight for example for indexing documents on Mac  
Os X. That is very practical. There are also used by many search  
engines indexers. It would be good to make a survey of what of Dublin  
Core is implemented in which products in terms of authoring and  
indexing.
